From the cover: “Edwardian Rambles portrays Henry Atty’s talent as an artist and observer of the countryside and towns he visited during his leisure time, cycling in Cheshire and Wirral, alone or with his wife and friends, during the first years of this century. His talent would have gone unnoticed if what he produced had not recently been discovered at the back of a wardrobe by the grand-daughter of a friend of his, to whom he had given this journal, which he called Cycling Rambles. Readers of this evocative, wonderfully illustrated book can delight in this craftsman’s superb work with paintbrush and pencil, his knowledgeable asides about the historical and literary connections of the area, his visual and written descriptions of the flora and fauna, churches, public houses, and so much more along the way. And one of his longest cycle rides, about twenty-five miles from his home, was to Chester, a city he depicts with well-informed artistry.”Notes: Size: 8" x 10½". Pictorial boards.
